The guard cells surround each stoma in a plant cell. They regulate  the opening and closing of stomata to facilitate gas exchange and  control transpiration in plants.
Reducing water loss - higher tier Stomata. Plants growing in drier conditions tend to have small numbers of tiny stomata and only on their lower leaf surface, to save water loss. Most plants regulate the size of stomata with guard cells. Each stoma is surrounded by a pair of sausage-shaped guard cells. In low light the guard cells lose water and become flaccid, causing the stomata to close.
